If Taylor Misses Time
Next man up: Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq is next on the Jets depth chart at tight end. Tight end targets would mostly move to the receivers, so he's a streaming option at best if Taylor misses time.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Geno Smith would lose one of his main options.
